How to take photos of colored water droplets

The steps to take a photo of colored water droplets are as follows:

1, control the water drop speed.

Droplets falling fast will form beads, falling slowly will form ripples on the water surface, falling high will have water droplets, and if the water volume is large, the water surface will produce eddies. Photographers can observe more and control the speed according to their own creative themes.

2. Decoration lighting

Photographers can choose flash lighting. The flash can be set on or off the machine, and it is best to use Hou Lian synchronization. When shooting, the basin can be supported by white cardboard, so that the light of the flash can be refracted by the white cardboard to form a natural light astigmatism effect, which makes the water droplets more crystal clear and stereoscopic after uniform irradiation. Photographers can also try other forms of light distribution to achieve outstanding results when shooting.

3. Shutter control

To keep the shutter pressing synchronized with water droplets splashing, the best camera setting is to manually accelerate the slow line, and the drive is high-speed continuous shooting.

The importance of dreamy background and light and shadow

To make dewdrops beautiful, background considerations are very important. Besides flowers, if you have an idea, you can use the background to make the picture more interesting and rich. The texture of dew is reflected by the light spot effect of color and backlight, which is more attractive than the water drop itself. Master the appropriate focal length and aperture size, so that the background blur has a rich hierarchical effect.

Backlight and side backlight can highlight the crystal clear of water droplets, so half an hour after the sun comes out in the morning is the best time to shoot dew. When shooting, if there are many point light sources in the background, such as many crystal dewdrops, it can be blurred into beautiful spots by backlight. Soft scattered light can make the water droplets appear natural light, and avoid using strong smooth light, so the dew will lose its three-dimensional and translucent feeling.
